New York - Crane v. Poetic Products Ltd.
Loeb & Loeb LLP
"The district court held that the theories and facts surrounding the death of Pope John Paul I are not protectable elements of the book In God?s Name: An Investigation in the Murder of Pope John Paul I, and found that a fictional play, The Last Confession, based on these same theories and facts did not infringe any protected expression in the book."
